Sixty thousand soldiers were also allowed to enter the city and enjoy a two-day holiday.
The treasury was opened and various rewards were distributed to the people. The prosperous Mopan City also provided an extra red envelope to the people of Chang'an, and every household was filled with wine and meat.
People wandered the streets and held various celebration activities to congratulate the king on his recovery and congratulations to Zhang Yi and Xiaoliu on their happy wedding.
Now everyone knows that the king's successor is Zhang Yi. Although it has not been announced clearly, it is obvious.
Wu Rui rebelled and fled, Liu Guang was executed for his rebellion, and the only one who could take the lead in the kingdom was Zhang Yi.
Now, under the instruction of the king, the army and major families have expressed their loyalty to Zhang Yi and are ready for the final transfer of power.
Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu spent two days of happy time.
There was no more time, and there were still many major issues waiting for Zhang Yi to deal with. The most urgent ones were to quell the rebellious city and repel the invasion of Little China.
Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu came to the Yangxin Hall to discuss official matters with their father.
King Liu Kai was sitting at his desk and had just finished writing his will. Of course, he did not want the young couple to see it yet, so he sealed it and gave it to Liu Zhu, the president of the Royal Forest Army, for safekeeping. This was to be prepared.
"Father, the war on the southern front is tense. Little China's frontline is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an. I want to lead a large army to conquer the enemy." Zhang Yi asked for instructions.
"Father, can I go with my husband?" Xiao Liu expressed her thoughts.
Zhang Yi turned around and looked at Xiaoliu in surprise. Now that his father's health has improved slightly, how could she take a step away?
In fact, Xiaoliu also went through a fierce inner struggle. She wanted to accompany her father, but she was also worried about Zhang Yi. She was in a dilemma. Seeing that her father looked much better, she thought that it was a hundred miles away, and it would only take half a day on a sweaty BMW.
After returning, I came up with this idea.
Seeing that the young couple had ambiguities and were about to argue, Liu Kai smiled slightly and said: "Don't argue, I will go with you."
ah?
Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu were both surprised.
I only heard my father explain: "I have been a soldier all my life, and I have gained some experience in leading troops and fighting. I would like to take this opportunity to pass it on to my adopted son."
It turned out that his father had already thought about it, and for Zhang Yi, this was a good thing that he could only hope for. He knew that his father's decision was always well thought out and unquestionable, so he nodded happily. In this way, Xiao Liu could also go with him.
Fulfill her wish to go to the battlefield.
After discussing with his father, Zhang Yi sent an order to leave the garrison troops in Chang'an. Liu Zhong and Liu Cheng commanded 2,000 imperial troops, Jiang Hua and Zhou Rui commanded 2,000 Mopan City warriors, a total of 4,000 troops, plus dozens of troops from various major families.
The defense of the Ten Thousand People's Army is sufficient.
All the remaining soldiers went out for the expedition, including a thousand imperial guards, six thousand Mopan City warriors and sixty thousand northern troops.
Horse intelligence revealed that the Little China army was about 80,000 strong, and the leading marshal was Yang Ting, the military leader of Little China and a man of great military exploits.
King Liu Kai fought with him back then, regardless of victory or defeat. In the end, the boundary line was drawn and the two sides signed a peace agreement.
"This man should not be underestimated," King Liu Kai emphasized. "He is as strong as an ox, as shrewd as a monkey, and as ruthless as the King of Hell. He is a very difficult person to deal with."
This comment was very vivid and left a deep impression on Zhang Yi. A person can have one trait and become a strong person. It is definitely not simple for a person to have three traits at the same time.
"Father is so humble," Xiao Liu said with a smile, "I heard my mother say that if it weren't for his physical condition, my father would definitely be able to defeat Yang Ting."
Liu Kai laughed, and Zhang Yi also laughed. He believed that it was like this. Although one-on-one father-king was no match for General Cao, someone who could make General Cao build a castle and huddle in Mopan City for many years was also very powerful.
.
No one can defeat General Cao one on one.
But in the later stage, General Cao no longer posed much of a threat to King Liu Kai. Under the blockade policy implemented by King Liu Kai, General Cao had no chance of turning around. He was as brave as a tiger, but lacked the shrewdness of a monkey.
The army plans to go out tomorrow, and the soldiers are making nervous and busy preparations.
Taking this opportunity, King Liu Kai gave Zhang Yi some pointers on his martial arts.
To be honest, if King Liu Kai and Zhang Yi had a duel, Zhang Yi's chance of winning would be very slim. Liu Guang did not lose in martial arts, but in mentality.
King Liu Kai praised Zhang Yi's strategy and pointed out that his stick skills could be improved to a higher level and taught him the nine stick skills step by step. King Liu Kai had been fighting for many years and had fought against countless masters.
He is proficient in all kinds of weapons and is a master of all things.
After his guidance, Zhang Yi's martial arts improved by leaps and bounds.
The two competed enthusiastically, and Xiaoliu watched from the side, smiling like a flower. Her martial arts was also taught by her father, but she is a girl after all, and there is no chance of actual combat, so she can only say that she can protect herself well enough to encounter powerful enemies.
The opponent still has the best strategy.
That night, the family of three laughed heartily. An optimistic atmosphere filled the palace. Everyone was happy and wished it would be like this every day.
As long as the king is in good health and has the help of an outstanding son-in-law, why worry about war?
…
At dawn the next day, the loud sound of military bugles resounded throughout Chang'an.
King Liu Kai led the expedition in person.
He was sitting in an eight-horse carriage.
Zhang Yi rode Jueying, Xiaoliu rode Feihuang, and tiger generals such as Xiaolong, Xiao Han, Niuben, Shi Gandang, Wang Zheng, and Liu Zhu were riding in front and behind the carriage.
Six thousand invincible Mopan City warriors cleared the way.
A thousand ace elite imperial guardsmen followed behind.
Finally, there was the 60,000-strong northern army that had experienced hundreds of battles.
The people of Chang'an City lined the streets to say farewell, waving their arms and shouting victory. In their opinion, the king personally went to war, the future heroes led the rebel army, and a group of brave and skilled tiger generals. This is the strongest army in history. How can it be invincible?
reason?
The soldiers were also full of confidence and sang a mighty war song. Countless children ran with the team and sang along.
This scene made Zhang Yi feel nostalgic. He turned around and took a look. His beloved wife Xiaoliu was dressed in a military uniform, sitting on a sweaty BMW. She looked heroic and heroic, like a heroine who defended her family and country!
Zhang Yi couldn't help but be stunned, like an idiot.
Xiao Liu covered her mouth and smiled, calling "Yi Ge" to remind him that this was not at home. At this moment, Yi Ge was the commander-in-chief of thousands of troops!
Hearing the laughter of his brothers, Zhang Yi suddenly woke up. Seeing his brothers laughing, he became embarrassed and quickly calmed down.
Well, in this battle, firstly, his father wanted to teach him the secret of arranging troops. Secondly, it also wanted to see his performance. It was the ultimate test for him. Thirdly, in front of his beloved wife, he
It would be a shame if something went wrong.
Therefore, based on the current military information, Zhang Yi began to think seriously. He wanted to make a quick decision and send the people of Little China back to their hometown!
